Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking,
I/O-driven process.
Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be
arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
- configure squid to run under a dedicated "squid" user by default; make use of SQUID_{UID,GID} which other squid-related ports already implemented. The user/group will be created on the fly if they do not already exist. - introduce WITH_SQUID_LDAP_AUTH to pull in the necessary bits to compile and use the ldap_auth helper - install some more authentication helper applications by default - install helper applications to ${PREFIX}/libexec/squid instead of ${PREFIX}/libexec, add notes about it in pkg-install and pkg-descr - cleanup the pre-installation tasks and move them from Makefile and pkg-plist into the pkg-install script; make 'make install' and 'pkg_add' actually do the same thing - introduce a pkg-deinstall script - make squid.sh rcNG compatible (when either /etc/rc_subr or ${PREFIX}/etc/rc_subr is present, the first one will be used, otherwise the script will work as a "rc classic" script so no additional dependency on the rc_subr port should be needed) - some Makefile cleanups: + the squid installation procedure now correctly strips binaries, so there is no need to do this manually anymore + generate those parts of pkg-plist dynamically that may be affected by user set tunables (currently the localized error pages and helper applications) + document the available configuration options in a slightly different style + remove some obsolete variable declarations and comments + honor NOPORTDOCS - add CONFLICTS - add another vendor patch, see http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=890 for a thorough explanation of what has been fixed. - since we can no longer take the presence of Lithuanian error pages for granted, wrap the workaround for the errorpages.patch with '.if exists()' - bump PORTREVISION PR: 61315 Submitted by: maintainer
